Publisher: Thames and Hudson
Place Published: London
Year: 1967
Date & Collation: 176pp.53 plates.Bibliog.
Description: 123-137,169 Plates 41-46(6 illus) Henry Moore: the reconciling archetype.
Following a general opening section, this is one of eight chapters dealing with the work of individual artists. Discusses Moore's work on a psychological level centering around the themes of the Reclining Figure and the Mother and Child. His approach to the human figure is seen to be at variance with the historical ideal in art. By seeking the universal in the particular, through his obsessional themes, he is seen to produce great art.

Description: Introduction to the understanding of art, based on a series of articles in The Listener.
148-153: Section 82(1 illus) Henry Moore.
Sculpture had been dead in England, and perhaps Europe, for 400 years, but is now reborn in the work of Henry Moore. The proper understanding of Moore's work is gained through his concern for the material, which has its own principles of form and structure. Moore's great success lies in his ability to create form from the inside outwards.

Published in New York by Dodd, Mead 1932 under the title The Anatomy of Art. Published in Japan 1966 (See 0009660).
The illustration in the 1930s editions is Reclining Woman, 1930 green Hornton stone. In subsequent editions it is Three Standing Figures, 1947-1948 Darley Dale stone.
